Our Community Foundation provides a means for donors to address present and future needs in the community by forming permanent and temporary funds. We provide a variety of gift options to help donors achieve their charitable wishes and provide an outlet for charitable capital to be created and preserved.

As residents of the Daviess County community, board members and staff provide vital knowledge of the community we serve, as well as its needs. By working with a variety of donors and nonprofits we have the unique position as a funder, convener, and connector, with the ability to bring people together around a common cause – improving the lives of people in Daviess County, Indiana.

History

Through the financial resources of a broad base of donors, Our Community Foundation’s mission is to
meet the changing needs of Daviess County by fostering a culture of local philanthropy. The Foundation
was organized in 2021 as part of an agreement with the Community Foundation Alliance in Evansville to
move the Daviess County Community Foundation away from a 9-county regional affiliation of community
foundations to a standalone community foundation. Our Community Foundation is led by a Board of 21
community leaders who all live in Daviess County. With firsthand knowledge of the community and a
solid personal commitment, the Board is committed to leading the Foundation in a manner that best
serves the Daviess County community they call home. The Foundation’s office is in historic downtown
Washington’s tallest building – the former Peoples/German American Bank – located at 201 E Main St,
Washington.
